Overview
- At the A4 Rastplatz An der Neiße near Görlitz a 36-year-old Georgian was identified as the subject of an April Staatsanwaltschaft Memmingen warrant for document forgery despite presenting a new passport and recent name change.
- He settled the €3,032.50 fine on the spot yet was denied entry due to lacking a valid German visa and facing an existing Polish entry ban before being returned to Poland.
- Bundespolizei cited his Polish-registered Toyota for operating without insurance during the stop.
- A separate traffic stop at the Hagenwerder crossing led to the detention of a 45-year-old Polish man who could not pay a €2,000 fine and was charged with driving without a license and suspected possession of crystal meth.
- Officials say these actions follow a similar August 6 stop at Zittau and underscore a pattern of intensified checks along German-Polish crossings.
